Reception for Residuum

Saturday October 11th: 6:00PM - 10:00PM
Ticket Price: Free

Gravy Studio has curated a show for DesignPhiladelphia entitled Residuum, featuring a collaborative project between Pam Farrell and Krista Svalbonas and work by Kelton Bumgarner. Brought together by similar themes of destruction and residue, they all have taken a wide range of techniques to envision their final landscapes.

Kelton Bumgarner uses a handmade 35mm camera to photograph places where the histories of suffering have been all but forgotten as part of his bones bloom series. The photos are developed and then destroyed by nature until the place itself becomes a physical part of the image.

Vestiges is collaborative project of Pam Farrell and Krista Svalbonas that explores ideas of memory, fragmentation and trace imagery. Svalbonas uses metallic industrial materials in her serigraphs of aerial views of urban environments, while Farrell scans old unexposed dry plate negatives which have been subjected to the ravages of time and unstable environments.
